Caking Baking with Kids

I love baking cakes and biscuits and even more when the kids help. Both my 5 year old and my 1 1/2 year old become my little kitchen helpers and have great fun playing chef.

To make life easier we often opt for the simple all-in-one pack jobs. All you need to do is add water, butter and eggs and whisk the whole lot together into a smooth paste.

This week we made gluten free chocolate brownies using "tortino al cioccolato" by pedon easyglut.

Ingredients:

Cake powder (from the packet above)

100ml water

150g butter

3 eggs

How to:

1. Preheat oven at 180°c
2. Break eggs into bowl, add butter and cake powder. 
3. Mix all ingredients together, adding water as you go until you get a smooth paste.
4. Pour paste into cake tin and cook in oven for about 20 minutes.

He loved watching all the ingredients turn into a chocolatey paste

Now I would post a photo of what it turn out like but it got eaten before I could. Needless to say it went down well ;)
